Itinerary

From a morning pickup in your local area we travel to our hotel, arriving in time to enjoy dinner.

We head to the historic town of Sandwich. Once a major port, there are still many original medieval buildings and half-timbered houses dotted around this enchanting town, making it a delightful place for a refreshing stroll. Later, we travel back to Folkestone for some free time before heading back to our hotel in the evening.

Today we visit the spellbinding city of Canterbury, home to the oldest cathedral in England, dating back to Norman times. There is plenty to explore within the city’s medieval walls, from quaint cobbled lanes to the lovely Christmas market, full of stalls selling a tempting array of handmade Christmas decorations, unique gifts and tasty seasonal treats.

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head for home.
